Katamari Damacy is a great, quirky game, and ever since I first played it I was itching to speed-run it. I finally got around to doing so - just in time for KD2 to come out!
The controls in KD are extremely random and imprecise, so I have to admit these runs look sloppier than I'd like. I was more interested in the strategy than in the execution, so I didn't spend much time repeating the levels once I'd finalized my route. There's definitely room for improvement in overall smoothness. The exception is the Moon level; I practiced that one for a while, because that's by far the most interesting level.
I'm sure others could find improvements on the routes that I take, but I think I did pretty well on my own. To the best of my knowledge, my times were all world records when the videos first came out, most by a considerable margin. I improved the Moon record by over 4 minutes. :) Of course, once people watched my videos, some of my times were beaten.
